mark.js is a JavaScript library for highlighting keywords or custom regular expressions in text, usable with plain JavaScript or as a jQuery plugin. It offers options like diacritics support, separate word search, synonyms, iframes support, custom filters, and custom element/class names.

Use cases

• highlight search terms in search results
• mark keywords in a page dynamically
• highlight text matching a custom regular expression
• filter a list and highlight matching entries
• build a search bar that jumps to matches
• highlight matches inside table columns

When to choose

• you need client-side keyword or regex highlighting in the browser
• you want configurable matching (diacritics, synonyms, word boundaries, accuracy)
• you need both vanilla JS and jQuery integration options

When to avoid

• you need server-side or non-DOM text highlighting
• you want syntax highlighting for source code rather than keyword marking
• your project no longer uses jQuery and you need a framework-specific solution
